Wild Dog Arrival

On Saturday morning, 27 January 2018, this wild dog was found lying next to the R40 road after being hit by a car. Both her femur and humerus had a fracture. After the XRays, drip, antibiotics and painkillers she was taken to the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre (HESC) for the weekend.

On Monday, Dr Sampie Ras did a sterling job of putting a pin, screws and wires in to stablize the fractures. After the procedure, she was brought back to the centre, where she will be looked after until she has recovered.
